CTM Episode 23: “The Importance of Finding Your Purpose”

In today's episode Anthony and Isaiah discuss the importance of finding purpose in your life. 

Too many people wonder through life with no direction.

These people are miserable and are searching for something more, but they don't know what it is. What they are searching for is purpose.

Our purpose is something given to us by God. Your purpose is your mission in life, its and ideal that you work towards, its like and overarching goal. 

In your pursuit of your purpose you will need to seek out new experiences, face your fears, and reflect on your life. 

New experiences are crucial to your development. New experiences are how you learn about yourself and the world around you. This new knowledge will allow you to better understand what your purpose is, and equip you with new tools in your search for your purpose. 

Facing your fears is the next step to finding your purpose.

Everyone has a "false self", and this false self is always trying to hold us back. This false self is where our irrational fears and selfish desires come from. If we hope to truly identify our God given purpose we will have to break away from the false self, and one of the best ways to do this is by facing your fears and pushing thought them. 

Finally, you will need to reflect if you hope to find your purpose. Both self reflection and reflection with peers will allow you to learn the most about yourself when you face your fears and seek new experiences. Whats the point of doing these hard things if you don't learn from them? By reflecting and taking time to internalize the lessons you have learned you will grow into a man that is capable of finding and pursuing his purpose.
